Virtual Sword God! 93 Monster Once More

Currently, inside the Montem School Gym, the crowd was silent. Everyone was too worried about what was going to happen to the Montem team. In fact, many students had left the hall after witnessing Alex's death.

They simply thought there was no way for the Montem team to have a comeback and it was a waste of time for them to stay any longer. Their hope of reaching the quarter-finals for the first time in years was suddenly lost.

Meanwhile, inside the VSW game, Ashley hadn't given up hope. Not only was Novis relying on her but her whole team was relying on her. She was going to defend the tower as long as possible. Now that her breathing was under control her mind was more relaxed. She could see the right moments of when to go in.

Ashley would attack the Hershel team at just the right time and then dodge back avoiding their strikes, as their blades would miss her face only by a few inches. The Hershel team members were confused, all of sudden it seemed much more difficult to deal with her.

This was agitating them and the Hershal team were rus.h.i.+ng things. They were now being much more aggressive with their attacks and instead of waiting for the right opportunity like they had been doing, they were now trying to force one.

Of course, this just caused Hershal to become sloppy and make more mistakes but to the outside viewers, all they could see was Ashley doing an amazing job.

"You can do it Monster!" Someone shouted from the crowd. It was a boy who had a hairband tied around his head with the words "I", then a heart shape, "monster". He was the person who had started Ashley's fan club after witnessing her match with Eton.

As Ashley continued to fend off the three members, the crowd outside were only getting impressed more. Seeing this Ashley's fan club and the school started chanting together.

"MONSTER!, MONSTER!, MONSTER!" The noise was so loud from the crowd, that the chant could be heard through the VR headsets.

"What is going on outside." One of the Hershel members asked.

While the Hershal members could hear the noise, Ashley was too focused to notice anything. Right now, her mind was completely focused on one thing, surviving. Even though Hershal were open for an attack right now, she wouldn't go in for the attack. She would only attack to either stop their charge on the tower or when she needed to survive.

At the top lane, Scarlett was currently in a crisis of her own, going up against Frank. She knew that if she was to face him, it was unlikely for her to win. So her best bet was to keep on dodging Frank's attacks, while still attacking the tower.

So far, she was successful. The archer contained a roll skill that would cause her warrior to leap and roll away from the enemy. Right now, Scarlett's attention was super focused as she needed to time the skill perfectly with Franks attack.

If she didn't, she would be hit and injured making the rolling skill far less effective. Frank was getting frustrated, he felt like he was a cat chasing a mouse around.

"Wasn't she meant to be one of the weakest players? Isn't that why they sent her at top?"

Frank was using a charge skill which gave him extra Montem to move forward and then strike. He then noticed that Scarlett was matching up her skill with his. This time, when Frank went forward to attack, he decided to do a normal strike instead of a skill.

As he had planned Scarlett fell for his trick performing her roll skill to getaway. As soon as Scarlett got up, Frank then used his charge skill to catch up to where she was. When Scarlett got up from casting her skill, she could see Frank right in front of her.

There was no time for her to cast another roll skill. Instead, she pulled out a single small dagger that ranged characters carried on them. The problem was there were no set skills for the character to use with the dagger. All her skills where archery based.

When Frank came in for the attack, she tried her best to block. Out of instinct, she managed to block the first strike with the dagger but it was too powerful, causing Scarlett to drop her dagger to the ground. Frank then bashed his s.h.i.+eld into Scarlett causing her to fall to the floor.

"Finally!" Frank said as he went to stab Scarlett.

As Frank's blade went down to pierce Scarlett, he felt something wrap around his left leg. Suddenly, a strong force pulled his leg causing him to fall over. This gave Scarlett a small window of opportunity to roll her body, causing the blade to strike the ground instead.

Frank turned around and could see Novis holding onto the chain.

"You, how did you get here so fast!"

Novis had arrived just in time but as soon as he saw Frank attacking Scarlett, a rage started to build up inside of Novis. Novis was reminded of when Rob had pulled the gun on her. How weak and useless he felt, how he could do nothing back then and had to rely on Arthur.

He wanted to be the one to hurt Rob but never got the chance. Right now, all his anger that he had built up for Rob, was replaced to Frank. As soon as he saw Frank trying to hurt Scarlett it just reminded him of the whole thing again.

Novis didn't say anything and started pulling on the chain blade with all his strength. Frank's body was being dragged across the floor at great speed, he needed to do something fast. Frank lifted up his s.h.i.+eld and slammed it on the chain that was attached to his leg, success, the chain had broken.

"Novis you need to calm down," Arthur said.

"It's useless," George replied, "the boy is too angry to hear you."

Arthur knew that when most people were angry and fought, they would make terrible decisions. They couldn't think straight. You needed to look at your opponent and predict what they would do, instead of just focusing on hurting the person.

But this wasn't the case with everybody and just maybe, Novis was one of those types of people.
